McDonald’s All American Game: Francesca Belibi becomes first female to win POWERADE Jam Fest dunk title since Candace Parker

MARIETTA, Ga. – In 2004, Candace Parker became the first and only female to win the dunk contest at the McDonald’s All American Game.

Fifteen years later, Regis Jesuit High School (Aurora, Colo.) forward Francesca Belibi became the second, receiving four perfect scores on all four of her dunks to claim the POWERADE Jam Fest dunk title on Monday at Wheeler High School.

Belibi, a Stanford signee, faced stiff competition from Ranney School (Tinton Falls, N.J.) shooting guard Scottie Lewis, a Florida signee, and Montverde (Fla.) Academy forward Precious Achiuwa, but held them off with everything from reverse dunks to catching it off-the-backboard and throwing down a two-hander.

Her fourth and final perfect score was a hard one-hander while donning a black cape.

Pandemonium ensued as soon as she threw it in.
